How lock down has affected Christmas


Christmas decorations this year are not the same as before. We are in lock down and this has affected ceremony of the events. This year the decorations are less but interesting.





There are giant lights in different shapes and colors. You can find them everywhere in the town and every neighborhood has his own style.





Is very sad that we can't celebrate it like before in a crowded place but is better to be careful about it. I know that people want to celebrate and have fun but we have to be patient and let's have a good time after the pandemic is over.





My favorite is the heart shaped one.
